Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an improved invention of a fuel pump, in particular to an improved invention of a high-performance brushless methanol fuel pump. Background Art
[0002] High-performance fuel pumps generally use gasoline as the main fuel for corresponding operations. As a non-renewable resource, gasoline is relatively expensive and has a high cost. At the same time, the emissions after gasoline combustion cause relatively large pollution to the environment. Moreover, gasoline has strong volatility and there are certain risks during storage and transportation. Compared with gasoline, methanol fuel has the following advantages: 1. Renewable: Methanol can be produced from renewable resources such as biomass, while gasoline mainly comes from non-renewable petroleum resources; 2. Lower cost: In some cases, the production cost of methanol is relatively lower than that of gasoline, which helps to reduce the fuel cost; 3. Environmental friendliness: The products after methanol combustion are relatively clean, and the harmful substances emitted such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, etc. are usually less than those of gasoline, causing relatively less pollution to the environment; 4. High octane number: Methanol has a high octane number and good anti-knock performance, which can increase the compression ratio of the engine and thus improve the engine efficiency. 5. Safety: Methanol has a higher flash point and has certain safety advantages compared with gasoline during storage and transportation.
[0003] Therefore, in view of the above comparison between the two, using methanol as fuel instead of gasoline has certain advantages in the field of high-performance fuel pumps. For high-performance fuel pumps using methanol as the fuel type, they need to have a head function. At the same time, methanol fuel has certain corrosiveness to some materials under the condition of exceeding 100°C, and some parts of the product need to have methanol resistance.
